my guess is that with more decks their will be less frequency of positive counts…but what is the estimated frequency of positive counts i can expect for single deck, dd, 6d, 8d?? thanks, and can someone explain why this is…thanks guys.

let me rephrase my original question, if i am only playing at a count per deck equal/greater than +2 what is my expected frequency that this will occur per shoe/deck…thanks for timely response friendo.

Remember that each time the true count increases by one, the player advantage increases by approximately .5%. According to this freak chart for 6 decks 75% dealt, 22/100 hands will be at or above a TC of +2.

i really need to get this book, i have (to date) only purchased professional blackjack by wong and though it has given me a lot of insight and started me in the right direction, i think it is time to broaden the horizon a little more and i’ve hurd nothing but good things about bja 3…thanks sonny.

the (info from Wong’s book) image below may help:
f% is the tc frequency percentages

so if i’m reading those charts correctly by arnold snyder in the link…if i use a 1-16 spread playing a avg. 6deck game with 4.5d pen using system 1 i can expect an hourly rate of 2.90 units, given i can play a hundred hands in an hour? this seems to good to be true….i found this a really interesting read so far briancp (thankyou!), interesting that in a 6d game with 4.5d pen house and player never have more than a 3.5% adv.

It doesn’t say you will never have an advantage over 3.5%, only that it happens closer to 0% than .5%.
